As a Rockies fan, I’ve found this hot-stove season to be, well, pretty darn frigid. Last year, the Rockies were this close to winning the NL West for the first time, but they just didn’t have enough offense. In the off season, I kept waiting for the big signings . . . which never came. The Rockies signed Daniel Murphy to play first base, and that was it.
Not gonna lie: I was disappointed.
Earlier this week, I tried to move beyond my general malaise and evaluate the potential of the 2019 Rockies based on 2018 wRC+ and Steamer-projected wRC+.
